Cool songs.

Why write another review of this album? Is it proper even to use the word "review" in this context? One of the best things Roger Ebert ever said was that Prospero's Books (Greenaway) "stands above criticism". I feel the same way about Disintegration. It's difficult to believe that Robert Smith really wrote this, easier to imagine that Mozart-like this music always was and he just scribbled it out. Not true of course, this music obviously came from the depth of a human soul, and Smith has more than proven his genius. What amazes me is how few people understand what a miracle the Cure is, how long the love between the fans and this band (well, Bob and Simon anyway) has gone on. No other artist I am aware of has produced great music in four decades. Oh sure, there are singers with that kind of longevity, but writing, performing, engineering and producing, plus touring behind it all? Maybe Neil Young? At least he still writes. Oldsters that perform with 86-piece backing bands are disqualified, so that leaves out Bruce, the Stones, etc. Otherwise, forget it, unless there's some country western artist I'm ignorant about, Smith has no competition. So if there are only 283 reviews posted here, why not? Maybe Cure fans shouldn't be so shy in talking about the holy grail, then there'd be tens of thousands and they'd need a new server to hold them all. Now, let's defend that title, the best album ever. I don't need to preach to the converted and mention that every song on this album is a solid, A-class song do I? Anything weak at all? "Closedown" could be criticized as being less than an independent song due to the paucity of lyrical content, but it's a wonderful piece of music in context. My least favorite song might be "Disintegration", just due to the shattering noise it makes in disgorging Bob's relationship guilt, but I'm being silly aren't I? Great song. My favorite is "Last Dance", which oddly enough wasn't on the vinyl, though thank goodness Smith recognizes it, and included it on Trilogy, or I'd die. But I digress. Let's look at the other contenders. The White Album? No way, a good 50% of that album is [...], I don't care what Paul says. And some of the rest are novelty songs that don't really make for serious listening. The Doors? Worthy indeed, but do you really like "Whiskey Song"? I hate it myself, and the album is not a complete effort, despite the overall greatness that cannot be denied. Let's defer to Rolling Stone and pass right over Sgt. Pepper's, some of which is not even listenable, be honest! Pet Sounds? Very dated, not a uniform effort by any means. Revolver? Great songs, but there is a lot of filler on that album, unless you can whistle "And Your Bird Can Sing" for me . . . right now. It's the same for the rest of the top ten, which includes Exile on Main Street, a album loaded with undistinguished blues stuff, even Stones fans will admit. Quick, name one song on that album other than "Tumbling Dice". I'm waiting. Rumours? No, about a 50% great effort, several songs to the scrap bin. You can argue about impact, history, influence, sure. In that context maybe Elvis did have the #11 album of all time, and Sgt. Pepper is #1 (I guess). But just as a piece of music, start to finish, what really compares to this? Damn little. If great men stand on the shoulders of others, maybe in that context Disintegration is the result of integrating all those prior great albums. But it stands on top regardless. The best album ever made.

Great CD & Great condition

Awesome! Took awhile to get here tho

I am a metalhead at heart,but any genre of music is great as long as it sounds good. I grew up watching South Park & i remember the Robert Smith episode where Kyle goes "Disintegration is the greatest album ever"...so years later i got into more melodic & spacy music. This is an album perfect for nodding off,making love to your girl,sleeping/waking,etc. The album is a must own,it has an amazing intro song & the album kills from start to finish. It is a journey into darkness,drenched with gloomy and ominous vocals,some great dark and haunting tracks. I think the album has a great blend of heavy thick bass,lots of piano & keyboard incorporated,amazing guitar work too. Robert Smiths voice is great here,as it is in every cd. My favorites are this,Bloodflowers,Pornography & Faith. But this album is the highlight of the Cures collection of albums. The album starts with Plainsong,a very gloomy dark and melodic track. So beautiful. Pictures of You is another excellent track as the pace picks up and the vox are top notch. Closedown slows down again,great harmoniez & guitar work. Love Song is 1 of my favorites on the album,honest,dark,sad & beautiful. Last Dance & Lullaby are gloomy but the tempo picks up and the voice again is haunting. 1 of the best & most notorious tracks is Fascination Street. Another hard hitting,intense & deep track with alot of negative energy,but so beautiful. Prayers for Rain is brooding and scary,haunting with amazing drums and keys and lots of heavy bass. Same Deep Water as You is 1 of my top 3 favorites with Plainsong & Pictures of You,so ominous and dark. Sad,depressing and self loathing but so dark it is beautiful. The album is so dark it can't be seen as anything other than beautiful. Its so dark you can't help but love it. Disintegration,Homesick & Untitled close out the last 1/4 of the album. Dark and scary as every other song. Only way i can explain it is it is sad,dark and depressing it is 1 of the most beautiful albums ever written and recorded. A perfect 10*star album. If you never heard the Cure then get the album here,it is so beautiful it is scary. You can't miss here,everyone will love the album when you play it. Get it now !

I like old school music and this is my go to place to find it 😄

It’s perfect! I was afraid of any damage during the delivery process but I am very happy with the packaging, it helped protect this masterpiece all the way :)

Real talk, what can I say? I love the cure and it came in with no scratches or damages to to the record and the cover. Definitely give this a thought if you want the album.
